523. Island Rescue

On December 7, 1941, under the planning of Commander Isoroku Yamamoto of the Combined Fleet and under the command of Tadaichi Nagumo, Commander of the First Air Fleet of the Combined Fleet, the Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, USA, bombing warships and other military targets anchored there. More than 350 Japanese planes carried out two waves of attacks on the Pearl Harbor naval base, dropping armor-piercing bombs and firing torpedoes at American battleships and cruisers.

At that time, the US troops were defenseless, and they woke up to the loud sound of the explosion, only to know that they had been attacked, and hurriedly rushed to defend themselves. The preemptive attack ended in 90 minutes, with the Japanese sinking four battleships and two destroyers, destroying 188 aircraft, and damaging countless buildings, ships, and aircraft. About 2,400 Americans were killed in the attack; More than 1,200 people were also injured, which is undoubtedly a huge shock to the United States.

After the attack, Japan officially declared war on the United States, and American radio stations repeatedly broadcast: "Pearl Harbor has been attacked by the Japanese!" US President Roosevelt immediately delivered his famous "national humiliation" speech, in which President Roosevelt exclaimed: "We must remember this day of great shame!" After that, President Roosevelt signed a formal declaration of war against Japan.

Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor marked the outbreak of the Pacific War. After the United States and Britain declared war on Japan, more than 20 countries, including Australia and the Netherlands, also declared war on Japan. The government of the Republic of China declared war on Japan on December 9, more than four years after the Sino-Japanese War. On December 21, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States. At this point, the scope of the Second World War was further expanded, and the flames of war also spread.

On December 8, 1941, the Japanese invaded Hong Kong, after 18 days of defense, on December 25, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong were unable to resist, and Yang Muqi, then the governor of Hong Kong, announced his surrender, and the Japanese soldiers immediately occupied Hong Kong, so Hong Kong fell and became an isolated island.

Ling Yunpeng suddenly received a call from Zhao Jinwen and asked him to hurry up and go to him once, so Ling Yunpeng hurriedly drove to Fukaisen Road, Zhao Jinwen's residence.

"Teacher, is there anything urgent about coming to me? I heard your voice on the phone as if I was in a hurry. Ling Yunpeng asked straight to the point.

"Yes, I just received a call from the bureau seat, and he gave me an urgent mission, and he named you to send this special team to carry it out."

"What the hell is the mission?"

"Go to Hong Kong to rescue a pregnant woman."

"Pregnant?" This task was a bit unexpected for Ling Yunpeng.

"Yes, that's it." Zhao Jinwen put a photo in front of Ling Yunpeng.

Ling Yunpeng looked at the photo, the woman in the photo was delicate, gentle and lovely, but a kimono made Ling Yunpeng frown: "Is it a Japanese woman?" ”

"The one in the photo is the one you are going to rescue: Chieko Miyazawa, who is the wife of Shinichi Miyazawa."

"Who is Shinichi Miyazawa?" Ling Yunpeng asked puzzled, he didn't expect that the task assigned to them would be to rescue a Japanese.

"Shinichi Miyazawa is a well-known deciphering expert, now working for the Japanese military department, has uncovered a lot of valuable information, this person was on vacation in Hong Kong with his wife who was pregnant with Rokko before the outbreak of the Pacific War, but the military department suddenly sent a liaison officer to Hong Kong, summoned him back to China, just the day before leaving, his wife Chieko felt that the fetal movement was abnormal, he sent his wife to St. George's church hospital, but the doctor found that Chieko's fetus was in an abnormal position, and needed to be hospitalized for observation and fetal protection. Miyazawa originally wanted to stay with his wife, but the liaison officer insisted that Shinichi Miyazawa must return to Japan immediately, so Shinichi Miyazawa left his wife alone in the church hospital while he flew back to Japan with the liaison officer. The liaison officer assured Miyazawa that the military would send someone to escort his wife and children back to Japan after he had given birth.

Unfortunately, the plane had a mechanical failure on the way, forced landing in the defense area of our 36th Division, just caught by us, from Miyazawa Shinichi and the liaison officer carried in the briefcase found their identity and some Japanese military secret telegrams, after the Song division commander learned the identity of this person, he and the liaison officer were transferred to Chongqing overnight, the bureau seat is like a treasure, Miyazawa Shinichi as a guest, I hope he can be used by me, but Miyazawa this person is also a bit backbone, refused to cooperate, and began a hunger strike.

The bureau found a photo of him and his wife Chieko from Miyazawa Shinichi's pocket, and learned about his wife's current condition from the mouth of the liaison officer, so he moved with affection, understood with reason, and lured him to benefit, and finally made this Miyazawa Shinichi change his attitude and began to eat, but he put forward the condition that he must see his wife and children before he is willing to cooperate. That's why I've left this task to you, the Shadow Rangers. You must bring Shinichi Miyazawa's wife and children back to the headquarters in Chongqing safe and sound, and you must take them away before the Japanese military headquarters sends someone to Hong Kong to pick up Shinichi Miyazawa's wife and children. Otherwise, his wife and children may become a bargaining chip for the Japanese military to blackmail Shinichi Miyazawa. Zhao Jinwen communicated the general situation with Ling Yunpeng, and also informed him of the urgency of this matter.

"So that's the case, it seems that this Miyazawa Shinichi is still quite infatuated with his wife, so to speak, his wife and children are also a card in our hands, right?" Ling Yunpeng looked at this photo and felt a little sympathy for this Qianhuizi, no matter who picked up this weak woman, she couldn't get rid of the fate of becoming a card to blackmail her husband.

"Of course, if there is a card of his wife and children in his hand, Miyazawa Shinichi can be obedient, the vast majority of people will have weaknesses, as long as they are caught with weaknesses, it is equivalent to being killed, many people are obsessed with money, power, false name, women, then these things are the death of these people, as long as they do what they like, use these things to satisfy him, win him over, he will surrender at your feet, let you drive, and for Miyazawa Shinichi, infatuation is his death hole." Zhao Jinwen said bluntly.

Ling Yunpeng listened to Zhao Jinwen's words and smiled noncommittally.

"Teacher, what is your death hole?" Ling Yunpeng raised his eyebrows mischievously.

Zhao Jinwen didn't expect Ling Yunpeng to ask himself this question, he paused, and then smiled faintly: "If I had stayed in the past, your master and wife would have been my dead end, but since your master and wife left, I think I shouldn't have any dead end!" “

Zhao Jinwen paused and thought for a moment: "Oh, no, I think I still have a dead hole, to be honest, Yun Peng, now you are my dead hole." “

Zhao Jinwen's last sentence was like a hammer hitting Ling Yunpeng's heart, he felt that his whole body was excited, and a warm current was stirring in his heart.

Zhao Jinwen has no children, he regards Ling Yunpeng as his closest person, for many years, Zhao Jinwen and Ling Yunpeng, who are also teachers and friends, like fathers and brothers, have not only made Ling Yunpeng like a spring breeze, but also made him suffer.

Zhao Jinwen took out a men's ring from a delicate ring box and handed it to Ling Yunpeng: "This gold ring was taken off from Miyazawa Shin's hand, and it is engraved with the name of Miyazawa Chieko, and when his wife sees this ring, she will naturally believe you and go with you." ”

Ling Yunpeng took the gold ring, looked at it, and then put it in the ring box and stuffed it into the inner pocket of his suit.

"Yun Peng, after you arrive in Hong Kong, go to Lead's Pharmacy at No. 20 Nathan Road, which is a stronghold of our military command Hong Kong station, you go to their stationmaster Li Mingyang, he will help you."

"Okay, I got it."

"Your joint code is: Boss, do you have Angelica here? He will answer: I am a Western pharmacy here, there is no angelica to sell, you say: people who go abroad miss their hometown, angelica does not return to regret for life. He will reply to you: a river of spring water flows eastward, and his hometown is often in the heart of the wanderer. ”

"Well, I remember." Ling Yunpeng read it silently and remembered it.

"Yun Peng, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese occupied Hong Kong, and it became an isolated island, your mission this time is not easy, if necessary, you can go to this person." After Zhao Jinwen finished speaking, he took out a yellowed photo and put it in front of Ling Yunpeng.

Ling Yunpeng took this old photo that was a little blurry and looked at it, this was a young man in his twenties, riding on a horse, heroic, square face with sharp eyes, Ling Yunpeng felt that this face seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Who is this?" Ling Yunpeng asked curiously.

"He is now one of the main leaders of the Dongjiang Column, Lin Qiushi."

"Dongjiang Column?" Ling Yunpeng's eyelids jumped: "Teacher, isn't the Dongjiang Column a team of the CCP?" Do we have a connection with them? ”
